"While the aristocrats get more wealthy, the commoners become poorer." Hmmm, that theme sounds familiar. Thanks for the review; it makes me want to drop everything and dive straight into the book.

The World of the aristocrats and the commoners have been a world apart even in our world presently. I'm curious to know how Agatha will mend this gap.

I am really interested to find out whether the social reforms Agatha propagates are easy to implement within the stories context. I especially want to see class struggle through a fictitious lens.

This is a fantastic book. It has a great storyline. The book has a realistic plot, and every activity was similar to the medieval way of life, which was the setting of the story. It is a superb intriguing read.
The review is great.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

Agatha the Beloved Queen sounds like a fascinating read with a strong female protagonist in a position of authority faced with challenges. It will be interesting to find out how she overcome these obstacles.

What a great review, thank you for writing it. The class disparity between commoners and aristocrats is definitely enough to hook me on this book. I got a free copy, so I am intrigued to see how Agatha rules for a change.

Agatha's character seems perfect to inspire young girls. Her wisdom and compassion make her a strong female protagonist. I enjoy medieval fantasies, so I wanted to check this book out. Unfortunately, it's not yet available in India.

A nice fantasy novel "Agatha the Beloved Queen" by Fred Pilcher, which follows a young lady who has a capable force to restructure the kingdom of Xana and help the commoners from getting exploited by aristocrats. The story looks interesting to me.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The author mirrors a real problem in the world, the gap between the rich and poor, and tries to point out the solution through Agatha in this fantasy novel

Agatha sounds like a queen to be admired, with the leadership qualities of compassion and strength. The inspiration for this book is intriguing, and I appreciate the author's commentary throughout. I don't remember the last time I read a medieval fantasy novel, especially one that offers life lessons for the present, so I might check this out. Thanks for the wonderful review!

I have heard Agatha's story but I haven't read about it. This would be a perfect read to understand the full or partial story of it. Agatha has quite the story line and whether her quest to bridge that gap succeeds or not

The story is an exact illustration of what is out in our society. A society where the 'elites' don't care but only focus on how they will keep getting richer. I wish Agatha, like every other person, would be successful in her mission against all odds.
